The condition of women in the workplace has not always been easy. Even though the mentality of the people is changing towards inclusion and equality, it is a long way before things really change. We always observe unbalanced number of women versus number of men, unbalanced competition among colleagues for career promotion and responsibility and unequal wages between women and men in many places. M ...[Read More]
While women in geosciences are awarded 40% doctoral degrees, they hold less than 10% of full professorial positions. In looking for the cause of this disparity, the postdoctoral years have been identified as a crucial step, before and during which many women leave the Academia. A recent study by Dutt et al., published this month in Nature Geoscience, investigated biases in recommendation letters f ...[Read More]

At EGU2010 we held the first townhall meeting on this subject of women in the geosciences, and what EGU can do for women geoscientists. At EGU2011 we will hold the second townhall meeting, including short presentations and discussions of how the EGU as a professional association can continue taking a more active role in influencing and promoting equal opportunities for women in the geosciences. Th ...[Read More]
Our previous book recommendations were the nonfiction books Blue Machine – How the Ocean Shapes our World by Helen Czerski and Below the Edge of Darkness by Edith Widder as well as the thriller The Swarm by Frank Schätzing. This time, we are stepping away from the ocean. Our next book recommendation is “Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed by Men” by Caroline Criado ...[Read More]
Welcome to a new series on GeoLog dedicated to one of the most critical yet frequently misunderstood aspects of research: Communicating uncertainty in science. Over the coming months, we will feature six guest posts written by students from a summer course at the University of Tübingen. Bringing together 13 students across diverse disciplines, the course challenged them to reframe uncertainty as a ...[Read More]
About a decade ago, I formally retired from Lancaster University (albeit retaining an emeritus position and still producing the occasional paper). In that time, I have been able to pursue my interests in the history of hydrology but also devote more time to my other passion which is landscape photography, especially images of water. As a hydrologist, I do understand that to spend my spare time p ...[Read More]
Scientists are often imagined through a narrow and gendered stereotype. This matters because society’s image of scientist shape who is seen, remembered and valued as a role model. When recognition, leadership and awards are skewed towards male scientists, scientists from underrepresented genders are less likely to feel that they belong, or see a future for themselves in the field. In geosciences, ...[Read More]
The links between geomythology and science are considerable and officially began with the works of Vitaliano (EGU Blog – Geomythology. True science and/or strong communication medium ?!) and continues nowadays thanks to the Geoheritage Journal edited by Springer Nature, and evident in two proposed sessions to the EGU sessions, including one from the 2025 conference entitled “Geomythology: Bridging ...[Read More]
How do minerals shape the future of soils, and how do soils drive mineral transformations? This campfire highlights remediation strategies, contamination hazards, and mineral–soil interactions that control water quality, carbon storage, and ecosystem health. Join us on Wednesday, December 17th @ 11 am CET to explore how weathering, organo-mineral processes, and innovative approaches help tackle po ...[Read More]
